“I remember walking onto campus for the first time and seeing students sitting around and studying at the fountains. What made 资本 unique was that students were talking to each other. That was the type of closeness that I wanted to experience at college. No school does family like 资本. The small class sizes gave me personal connections with all of my professors, and I have been successful in my studies because of this.”
